Baird, the U.S. Supreme Court found that a pregnant minor can petition a court for permission to have an abortion without parental notification. 2000 L 1990 L: 1993 Several abortion clinics are firebombed. Abortion provider Dr. David Gunn is mur dered in Florida. Physician Dr. George Tiller is shot in Kansas. Jan. 22,1973 U.S. Supreme Court issued its rut ing in Roe v. Wade, recognizing abortion as a right under the U.S. Constitution. Specifically, the court ruled that, during the first trimester of pregnancy, the state cannot bar any woman from obtaining an abortion from a licensed physician. During the sec­ ond trimester, the state can regu­ late the abortion procedure only to protect the woman's health. In the third trimester the state may regu­ late to protect fetal life, but not at the expense of the woman’s life or health. 1992 In Planned Parenthood of Southeastern Pennsylvania v. Casey, the U.S. Supreme Court finds that the mandatory 24hour delay before abortion, lectures by doctors against abortion, consent from parents of minors and reporting requirements did not constitute “undue burden” on women seeking to end unwanted pregnancy. It also affirmed a woman’s right to end pregnancy in early stages. During this case, the Supreme Court fell one vote short of overturning Roe v. Wade. ¡ ! I J • • ¡ ¡ June 20,1977 In Mother v. Roe, Beal v. Roe and Poelker V. Doe, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that federal and state gov ernments are under no obligation to fund abortion in public assistance pro grams, even if abortion is deemed to be “medically necessary.” Immediately thereafter, Medicaid-funded abortions dropped 96 percent from 250,000 to 2,421 per year. June 28,1976 Congress adopted the first Hyde Amendment barring the use of federal Medicaid funds to provide abortions to poor women. July 1,1976 In Planned Parenthood v. Danforth, the Court invalidated a requirement that the married woman obtain her husband's consent for an abortion, reasoning that such a requirement grants unconstitutional veto power to a third party. Jan. 21, 2001 Two days after taking office, President Bush signs an executive order barring U.S. aid to internation­ al groups that use their own money to support abortion. Sept 27 2000 Food and Drug Administration approves abortion pill. In Sternberg v. Cahart, the U.S. Supreme Court rules to strike down Nebraska's law banning the late-term abortion procedure. 1999 Anti-abortion activists must pay abortion providers $107 million in damages for making illegal threats through listing the doctor's names and addressed on a Web site. President Clinton vetoes 1995 legislation, saying it should include a provision to allow the abortion procedure if needed to protect a woman's health as well as her life. *--- 1995 Congress passes a bill to outlaw a late-term procedure that anti-abortion activists call "partial-birth abortion." May 12,1994 - - - j Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act was passed by the U.S. Senate, making the blockading of abortion clinics a federal crime and imposing pnson terms and fines on anti-abortion protesters who threaten violence or intimidate clinic workers or patients. Dec. 30, 1994 Gunman opens fire and kills two women on staff and wounds five other people at two clinics in Boston. The next day, a clinic in Virginia was fired upon, but no one was injured. Police arrested John Salvi, an opponent of abortion, in these incidents.

Graphic by Lucy Quintanilla, text compiled by Lauren Reinlie/Daily Texan Staff 30-year-old landmark decision encounters supporters, detractors By Lauren Reinlie Daily Texan Staff Thirty years after the landm ark Roe v. W ade U.S. Suprem e C ourt decision legalized the right to abor­ tion, the decision faces regulations and actions attem pting to u n d er­ m ine the decision, as well as a m ove­ m ent to overturn it. According to the Alan G uttm acher Institute, a think tank that historically favors abortion rights, the num ber of abortions perform ed and the num ber of abortion clinics have decreased in the last 20 years. Jan LaRue, representative of Concerned Women of America, said the num bers have decreased because states have im plem ented laws to reg­ ulate the abortion procedure and protect the life of the fetus over the last 30 years. She reported that 22 states now have m andatory w aiting periods, and 43 states have m andato­ ry notice or consent laws for minors. D iana Philip, co -founder and executive director of Jane's D ue Process, a statew ide advocacy center that serves pregnant teenagers w ho w ish to com ply w ith the parental notification law, said that parental notification w as the biggest blow to Roe v. Wade in the last 30 years. "It actually targets a certain p o p u ­ lation of w om en by m an d atin g parencal involvem ent," Philip said Kae McLaughlin, executive direc­ the Texas A bortion and tor of Reproductive Rights Action League, said 93 percent of counties in Texas do not have an abortion prov ider. She attributes low num ber of providers to protests and acts of vio­ lence against abortion clinics. the "It is difficult to provide abortion in an environm ent th at's so hostile," M cLaughlin said. M cLaughlin said the National Abortion Federation reports seven abortion providers have been m ur­ dered since the decision. Since 1977, she said 4,tXX) acts of violence and mom than 75,(XX) incidents of harass­ ment and bomb threats have been con mitted against a'xirtion providers. She said in 2001, abortion clinics received 554 anthrax threats. "They've attacked their families. their hom es," They've picketed McLaughlin said. "A group in Bryan- College Station mailed all the neigh­ b o rs pictures of a w om an w ho pro­ vided abortions.

Tin Doily Texan asked some students around campus about the issue: — Delaney Hall "Any institution has a responsibility to monitor safety, but if we entrust our safety to the school then they have a responsibility to reveal this sort of information to us. And bringing up national security, that's the weirdest reasoning. There's this prevailing notion that our national security is threatened, but this sort of surveillance seems only relevant in the school context, not at a national level.” Ryan Davis, studio arts freshman ‘If it was a private school, it would be okay for them to keep this infor­ mation from us, but because it's a public institution, the University absolutely has to reveal this sort of information.

The shooting was the first assault on U.S. civilians in Kuwait and the third on Americans since October in the oil rich emirate, where pro- American sentiment is usually strong and where thousands of U.S. troops are assembling for a possible war on Iraq. The victims — civilian contrac­ tors working for the U.S. military were traveling in a four wheel- drive Toyota when they came under a hail of bullets. The U.S. Embassy identified the man killed as Michael Rene Pouliot, 46. of San Diego, an employee of a software company, Tapestry Solutions. No group claimed responsibility for the attack.

Three skiers who escaped the avalanche that thundered 300 feet down the mountainside Mondav rescued one person, but the others suffocated under sev­ eral feet of snow, according to police and rescue officials. Sgt. Randy Brown of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police said there were two groups of skiers on the mountain - a group of 13 higher up and the group of 11 hit by the avalanche. Former President Carter proposes Venezuelan plan CARACAS, Venezuela — Nobel Peace Prize laureate Jimmy Carter proposed a plan Tuesday to lead Venezuela to elections and end the strike against President Hugo Chavez, which has dramatically cut production in the No, 5 oiloxporting country. Carter's ideas were the first concrete proposals to emerge from more than two months of talks between the government and Venezuela’s opposition, which called the strike to demand early elections or Chavez’s resignation. Both Chavez and opposition leadeis reacted cautiously, saying the proposals merited study. Oil barge sinks off coast of Spain, kills captain MADRID, Spain A barge loaded with nearly 270,000 gal­ lons of light fuel oil sank Tuesday one mile off Spain’s southern coast, threatening more ecologi­ cal damage even as workers con­ tinued clean up a catastrophic oil spill in the north. The Spabunker IV developed a leak in stormy weather in Alger iras Bay near Gibraltar, offi­ cials said. The body of the cap­ tain. Miguel Roig, was found hours later. Some of the 94,500 gallons of the barge’s own diesel fuel leaked as it sank but none of its cargo was detected in the water, according to the Spanish energy company CEPSA, which leased the vessel and owned the oil.

"T his business about more time — how much time do we need to see clearly that he's not disarm ing?" Bush said, acknowl­ edging frustration with both Iraqi President Saddam Hussein and reluctant U.S. allies. The comments were part of an adm inistration-w ide effort to counter rising opposition to war that could jeopardize Bush's frag­ ile anti-Saddam coalition. With tens of thousands of U.S. troops massed near Iraq, the president is expected to decide in a matter of weeks whether to end diplomatic efforts and wage war. France complicated Bush's task by telling the United N ations Security Council there is no rea­ son yet for military action, hint­ ing it may veto any resolution authorizing an attack. O ther including Russia, nations — Germany, China and Chile — have backed the French con­ tention that U.N. inspections are starting to work and Iraq can be disarmed peacefully. Britain, Am erica's closest ally, is the only major military power committed to joining the United States. O ther countries with smaller armies, such as Australia, Canada and Bulgaria, could play supporting roles in a "coalition of the w illing" that Bush has pledged to lead if the United Nations won't join him. Turning up the heat on allies, W hite H ouse spokesm an Ari Fleischer warned that the United Nations' relevancy is dependent on its ability to disarm Iraq.

Hispanics top blacks as largest U.S. minority group By Genaro C. Armas Associated Press WASHINGTON — Hispan ics have surged past blacks and now constitute the largest minority group in the United States, a sta­ tus Latino leaders are sure to use to push for political and econom ­ ic advances. estimates Tuesday showing the Hispanic population rose 4.7 per­ cent between April 2(XX) and July 2001, from 35.3 million to 37 mil­ lion. During the same period, the non-Hispanic black population rose about 2 percent, from 35.5 million to 36.1 million. The Census Bureau released The data are part of the bureau's first statistics on race and ethnicity since results from the 2000 census were released nearly two years ago. Due to high birth and immigra­ tion rates, the Hispanic popula­ tion more than doubled during the 1990s, the 2000 census found. Many new arrivals were drawn by the booming U.S. economy and settled in areas in the South and M idw est that previously attracted few Latinos. Dem ocrats and Republicans, aware of the surge, have placed increased emphasis on attracting 1 lispanic voters. Last year, top Dem ocratic candidates for gover­ nor of Texas debated in Spanish. two the Also last year, the Republican National Com m ittee began send­ ing representatives to citizenship Ceremonies to register 1 lispanic immigrants. Whites remain the largest sin­ gle population group, numbering 199.3 m illion in July 2001, or near­ ly 70 percent of all U.S. residents, according to the Census Bureau. I said, ‘Brrrr...ifs cold in here!’ More private labs caught giving false test results WASHINGTON — Private labora­ tories are increasingly being caught falsifying test results for water supplies, petroleum prod­ ucts, underground tanks and soil, hampering the government’s ability to ensure Americans are protected by environmental laws, federal investigators say. The fraud has caused millions of people to fill their cars with sub­ standard gasoline or to drink water not properly tested for safety. Australian study shows that marijuana a gateway drug CHICAGO — A study of Australian twins and marijuana bolsters the fiercely debated “gateway theory" that pot can lead to harder drugs. The researchers located 311 sets of same-sex twins in which only one twin had smoked marijua­ na before age 17. Early marijuana smokers were found to be up to five times more likely than their twins to move on to harder drugs. Compiled from Associated Press reports NATION BRIEFS Bush to boost spending for federal agencies 4 percent WASHINGTON — President Bush will propose boosting overall spending for federal agencies next year by 4 percent, less than half the growth expected this year, the White House budget director said Tuesday. The figure seemed to presage a battle over the coming months between Bush and congressional Democrats — and perhaps some Republicans — over whether his proposed increases for security at home and the wide range of other domestic programs are sufficient. Budget chief Mitchell Daniels provided few details, saying only that domestic security programs would get the largest increases in the budget Bush releases next month, followed by defense and finally by agencies covering the rest of government. Congress has yet to complete 11 of the 13 spending bills that finance federal agencies. Tina Flneborg/Associated Press NEW YORK CITY — A man who declined to give his name has his collar turned up against the cold in New York’s Times Square on Tuesday. Tuesday was the metro area’s eighth consecutive day of temperatures that failed to top 32 degrees, the result of a brutal arctic weather pattern that also drove wind chill factors to dangerous levels. The last time temperatures in New York City rose above freezing was Jan. 13, and temperatures are expected to remain frigid until the weekend.

City Council should cut network funding B y C h ristia n Hurt Daily Texan co lu m n ist In 1991, the A ustin C ity Council proclaim ed the official city' slogan to be "T he Live M usic Capitol of the W orld." To back the slogan, the city decided in 1994 to launch the A ustin M usic Netw ork, with the intent o f prom oting local music around Austin. In 1998, the city im plem ented a three-year privati­ zation plan that w as supposed to g ra d u a lly taper d ow n funding from $500,000 a y ea r The network ran out o f m oney in the first year, an d privatization failed the sta­ tion is still funded bv the city and is p ro p o sin g a 2003 budget of $675,(MO, 65 percent oi which is to pay the salaries o f A ustin Music N e tw o rk e m p lo y ees. The city, how ever, is looking at a budget shortfall o f $77 m illion and is cur­ rently rev iew in g A u stin M usic N etw ork's funding for 2003. The C ity C o u n cil w ill vote on the budget ja n . 30. an A t A u stin M usic C om m ission m eeting on Jan. !4, a few local m usicians voiced their su p p ort o f and the attem pted to justify w h y A ustin citizens should be forced into pro­ statio n The belief that without public funding the lire music scene Austin will disappear is m oting their music. While using em otional ploys about how the station gives back to the com m u­ nity, they failed to mention that after 10 p.m ., the station allows vulgar language and nudity and with the addition o f slow jazz can, in theory, turn into a soft-core pom channel. So m uch for w atching the I he scram bled S p ice channel. m u sician 's em otions, coupled with a petition that is circulating around the netw ork and am ong its supporters, leads one to believe that if the city' cuts the channel's funding, it will kill live m usic in Austin. The belief that without public funding the live m usic scene in Austin will disappear is a fallacy'. The scene depends purek on the willingness o f Austin residents to go see live music acts and the w ill­ ingness of the city to allow venues to be placed in the city. Popularity is the driving force behind a m usi­ cian's or bands' success and is based on capitalist concepts — such as bars and clubs venues, ticket sales, and album sales — versus a socialist concept like the A ustin M usic Netw ork. Austin w as the "I ive M usic Capitol of the World' before 1994 and does not need the city underw riting a chan­ nel that has helped the Austin m usic scene very little in nine years w hile extorting public m oney without any acoountabili- ty. W hile cutting A ustin M usic N etw ork 's fun ding com pletely w ould solve part of the city's over­ all budget crisis, the Austin M usic Com m ission instead com pound­ ed the problem by recom m ending v arious things the channel should do to justify its funding. O ne of these w as to survey view ers to find out w hat they w ant played, rather than freely playing any video that arrives at the station, which is w hat the channel current­ ly does. I he fact that, after nine years, a station using public money has not once interacted with the public justifies cutting the Austin M usic Network. W ithout public interac­ tion, the station has been able to go in w hichever direction it pleases, p layin g garbage disguised as music w ithout having to w'orry about public outcry or funding. Just as the N ational Endow'ment of the Arts forces American tax­ payers to pay for such exhibits as "Piss Christ," the Austin Music Netw ork forces city taxpayers into buying an anim ated version, with the addition of barely recognizable musical tones and trite lyrics. T he A ustin M usic N etw ork proudly claim s to be the only inde­ pendent m u sic channel in the world — and it is. It is com pletely independent of public morality and decency and independent of econom ic forces that have Austin residents tightening their belts w hile the general m anager of the netw ork collects a salary o f $75,000 a year. A ustin has an unem ploym ent rate of 5.5 percent and the network is asking these people — w ho are struggling to pay the rent — to underw rite the closest thing to undiluted sew'age on television. University gradu­ ates are looking into a near dismal job market and the netw ork is ask­ ing them to continue funding the m ost frivolous item in the city budget. As both the city and the City Council consider the Austin they M usic N etw ork budget, should cut all of A ustin Music N etw ork's funding — it is a waste of money, a w aste of city resources, will never be self-sufficient and does not serve the interests of the city. Hurt is an electrical engineering senior. the edge OAK CREEK, Wis. — Don Meyer was a little annoyed when a Pick ’n Save clerk here recently carded him in the liquor store. He wasn’t just upset because they carded him while he was buying non­ alcoholic beer. He was upset because he’s 76 years old. “I tell you, I was really ticked off — this littleby-little chipping away at your rights,” the World War II veteran said. Meyer won’t be the only senior citi­ zen getting carded now that 11 Pick ’n Save stores in Wisconsin have begun requiring clerks to card every­ one who tries to buy alcohol. M ost alcoholic-beverage retailers ask for identification from patrons who appear younger than 30 or 40, but Pick ’n Save officials say they wanted to eliminate the chance of selling to someone underage. Milwaukee Attorney Michael A.I. Whitcomb, who represents many clients with liquor licenses, said he has never heard of a store carding everyone. "Practically speaking, I see no rea­ son to instruct employees to card the AARP crowd,” said Whitcomb. — Associated Press Wednesday, January 22, 2003 \FW P a g e 5 Defacing of MLK statue shows that ‘race still matters to people,’ student says seem to put forth the effort to show that they care," C ruse said. UT President Larry Faulkner said not much could be conclud­ ed from M onday's ev ents. "We don't know who did this," Faulkner said. "We don't know if students or faculty or alumni or anyone the University was the perpetrator. I, associated w ith of course, deplore any symbolic attack that m ight have been intended on Dr. King's memorial." W hatever the reasons for the s ta tu e 's defacem ent, stu d e n ts said they will not let racism hold them back. "I'm gonna m ove on. som eth in g I'm g onna m ake of myself," Cham bliss said. "I will go back to mv com m unity, and I will teach them. I will bring up an o th er g en eratio n w h o 's not afraid to be active." Activism is essential, everyone agreed, because the fight is not over. "The struggle for justice and respect of all m ankind contin ues," H ood said. MILK, FROM 1 of Texas Police D epartm ent reported finding eggs on the ACE and RLM buildings as well. L I I’D Chief Jeffrey Van Slyke answ ered questio n s Tuesday night as to w hy UTPD w as unable to find the perpetrator despite a camera set up next to the statue. I hough the cam era w as w ork­ ing, Van Slyke said, the recording device w as broken. Even had it been able to record, he said he doubted w hether the cam era's narrow range w o u ld have includ­ ed the egg throwers. The >tatue has been p u t on extra patrol, an d Inform ation Technology Sendees and crime prevention officers will visit the statue W ednesday to decide how to better m onitor it, Van Slyke said. Student G overnm ent voted unanimously Tuesday to pass a rest ilution condemning the statue's defacem ent and urging the UT administration to adopt and imple­ ment a racial harassment policy. N icholas Kendall, a mechanical engineering junior w ho said he flowrers encircling found the Robert E. Lee statue on the South Mall Mondav, called the deface­ m ent an act of cowardice. At "It's a reflection of w here we're at in today's society with the issues of peace and equity," Kendall said. the g athering, stu d e n ts decided to hold a 24-hour rally that Will begin today at noon at the MLK statue and then m ove to the South Mall at 12:15 p.m. The rally, w hich students said will be peaceful to ho n o r MLK's legacy, is necessary to inform the UT com m unity th at race relations rem ains an im portant issue, stu­ dents said. to u te d "G eo rg e Bush the U niversity as being this exam ple of diversity and acceptance and one of the reasons affirm ative action sh o u ld be elim in ated ," said A ndy Gallagher, a psychol­ ogy senior. "T his is a perfect exam ple that racism exists on this cam p u s. It goes bey o n d racism. It's a hate crime." The vandalism , said Maxine Chambliss, a history and govern­ ment junior, "is just another exam­ ple of the wav UT has conducted itself" since she has been here. O ther students agreed.

"An instance like this shows that race still matters to people," said Victoria Pierre, a journalism junior. "If our president thinks race is not a factor, then he needs to come dow n here and take a look." In the face of such racism, stu­ dents stressed the need to unite, educate and em pow er themselves.

Study focuses ot doctor-parent relationship UT nursing professor Joy Penticuff has developed a new method for creating better under standing between doctors and parents of premature infants. After conducting a five-year study with the National Institutes of Health, Penticuff found that many parents with a baby in neonatal intensive care do not fully understand the specifics of their infants’ medical situation. Penticuff said that although sur vival rates of premature infants have increased dramatically due to new technology, aggressive medical treatment can still create development problems or prolot ig the preemie’s inevitable death. The study showed that pare’in- who discussed medical informa tion, treatment options and prot> able outcomes directly with doc tors showed improvement in understanding their babies' situe tion. — H abeab Hum Report reveals roadblocks for mental health treatmen The President’s New Freedor Commission on Mental Health released a report on public com ments about mental health care Jan. 10, revealing some barriers mental health stakeholders face when providing or seeking treat ment. The committee received c ne ments from 1,205 people involved in mental health care. In October 2002, the Commission on Mental Health recognized the Texas Medication Algorithm Project, a collaborative effort including University pha< macy professor Lynn Crismon a model program in its interim report. The TMA project uses flow charts to direct physicians through a step-by-step process of prescribing medication and gauging its effectiveness. Researchers have developed guidelines for treating serious mental illnesses such as schizo phrenia, major depressive disor­ der and bipolar disorder. — Erin Keck Study: Jewish candidate would cause controversy GAINESVILLE, Fla. — The prospects of a Jewish presiden tial candidate could create fric­ tion among American voters, according to the results of a recent study conducted by two University of Florida political sci ence professors. Professors Kenneth Wald and Stephen Craig, along with University of Florida political sci­ ence adjunct professor James Kane of the Florida Voter Survey organization, conducted research using statewide telephone sur veys. Both samples were given a list of ideas, such as taxes going up and athletes being paid more money, and asked which specift cally made them angry. One sample was asked if they would be angered by a Jewish vice-presidential candidate, and the other was asked if they would be angered by a Jewish presidential candidate. — Associated Press MYTRSIT I ni l ) \ i n l f \ \ \ Wednesday, January 22. 2 0 0 3 STUDENT GOVERNMENT Rebecca Tarver Robins once again has the high school ring she A NICE RING TO IT LUFKIN lost in her college dorm at Stephen F.

Bill to include photo option for directoiy By Anjali Athavaley Daily Texan Staff Finding a photo alongside a phone num ber in the University online directory may be a future possibility, although opponents say it will create greater risks for students. A bill allow ing students to post their ID picture in addition to th e ir year, m ajor and contact inform ation will be introduced at the Student G overnm ent m eeting next Tuesday. SG President Katie King said the bill w ould provide a m ore precise system of locating people in the UT com munity. King is m odeling the idea after the Boston College directory in which "everyone in the cam pus com m unity," including faculty and staff, has the opportunity to post their photos for identifica­ tion purposes. Students w ould m ost likely be given the option of directory pic­ tures w hen logging on w ith their electronic IDs for the first time, King said. O p p o n en ts believe that stu ­ dents w ould not fully understand w hat they are agreeing to if they click the "yes" box. "I still do n 't know if students are w ell-inform ed enough to m ake that choice," said M ustafa Abdul Jabbar, a residential halls adviser and SG representative.

King believes this concern ¿ an be resolved it an explanation of the term s of agreem ent is provid­ ed before students m ake their choice. The Familv Educational Rights and Privacy Act define directory' inform ation as nanu address, telephone n u m b e r ai !

BRIEFS City Council to monitor possible spring pollution Austin City Councilman Daryl Slusher will likely lead the council over the next 90 days as they monitor the investigation into the possible Barton Spnngs toxic contamination. Mayor Gus Garcia said he will sponsor a resolution for the council's Jan. 30 meeting naming Slusher the lead member as the council sorts out reports that high levels of potentially cancer- causing agents exist in the sedi ment of the natural spring. “Over the years, the Council has looked to Council member Slusher for leadership in regards to the serious negative effects pollution and over-development have on the vitality of the springs,’’ Garcia said. — Katherine Sayre Texas Tech professor out on bond after bacteria scare LUBBOCK — A Texas Tech pro­ fessor accused of lying to federal agents about the whereabouts of 30 vials of plague bacteria was released from jail Tuesday after posting $100,000 bond. Federal prosecutors withdrew their motion to deny bail for Dr. Thomas C. Butler, 61, during a court hearing Tuesday morning. Butler is charged with making a false statement to a federal agent in an incident that sparked a bioterrorism scare last week. Butler was released from cus­ tody shortly afterward. Because he was allowed to be released, Butler waived his right to a pre­ liminary hearing where prosecu­ tors would have had to provide witness testimony to establish probable cause for the charge. —Associated Press Reprieve given to killer who may be mentally retarded HOUSTON — A convicted killer set to die this week won a reprieve Tuesday from the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals because state prison records show he may be mentally retarded. Elkie Lee Taylor, 41, was sched­ uled for lethal injection Thursday for the 1993 strangling of a men­ tally ill 65-year-old Korean War veteran during a burglary of the victim’s Fort Worth home. The reprieve will allow time for a hearing in Tarrant County on whether Taylor is mentally retarded. Taylor’s attorney, James Rasmussen, said tests adminis­ tered to Taylor after an earlier burglary conviction showed he had an IQ of 63, and a second test yielded an IQ score of 57. — AP City budget office seeks to cut costs Officer: Goal is to maintain public sen'ices for Austin By Katherine Sayre Daily Texan Staff T h e A u stin b u d g e t p lan n in g for fiscal y e a r 2003-2004 w ill focus o n c o st-sa v in g m easu res in th e c u rre n t e c o n o m ic clim ate, w h ic h h as b e e n m a rk e d by d e c re a s e d re v e n u e s a n d in c re a se d u n e m p lo y m e n t o v er the la st tw o years. tax T h e b u d g e t office p la n s to co m m u n ic ate w ith city d e p a rt­ m en t d irectors, em p lo y e e s an d the c o m m u n ity in an effort to m a in ta in p u b lic services for the city o f A ustin, city b u d g e t officer R udy G arza said.

They suggest that donors may receive politi­ cal favors in return for seeming­ ly philanthropic behavior. "I don't think those are the kind of people that spend money without expecting a return on their investment, and I think it sends a very bad signal when we're facing a huge budg­ et deficit," said Reggie James, director of Consumers Union Southwest. Craig McDonald, director of Texans for Public Justice, said the inauguration should be paid for by taxpayers to ensure there is no political favoritism. "[Corporate sponsors] illus­ trate who is in control of Texas government," McDonald said. "They have dozens, if not hun­ dreds, of legislative issues at the statehouse every year, and con­ tributions like this help give them access to those who can help with that agenda." “[Corporate sponsors] illustrate who is in control of Texas government.” Craig McDonald, Director of Texans for Public Justice Donors denied any ulterior inaugural their they motive money-giving, wanted to give back to Texans. saying to "One of the reasons we feel it's important is that the money goes to really broadening the it to inauguration, opening more people and making it a more public ceremony," said Bob Davis, for ExxonMobil, a $25,000 donor. spokesman Sandy Fruhman, Reliant Energy's director of public com­ munications, said her company was "contributing to the politi­ cal process" and did not expect anything in return for the dona­ tion, which was also $25,000. The gold and silver under­ writers — companies that donated $50,000 or $25,000 respectively — also included the tobacco giant Philip Morris and the aerospace and defense man­ ufacturer and contractor Boeing Company. Ten thousand inau­ gural ball tickets at $65 a piece also helped pay for the day's events. UT not facing crisis, finance officer says ENDOWMENTS, FROM 1 percent drop. The NACUBO Endowment Study is an annual survey of higher education institutions who volunteer to report their endow­ ment holdings. Participating in the 2002 NES were 654 higher education institutions, including the UT system. Boldt said that the loss in endowment value is a reflection of the larger economic environ­ ment. "Being down 3 or 6 percent at a time when the equity markets [are down by 18 percent] is a rel­ ative victory for the endowment funds," Boldt said. The sharpest drop was 19.8 percent, the according Chronicle of Higher Education. to The UT System reported $8.6 billion in endowment assets in 2002—the third highest behind Harvard and Yale University, respectively, according to a NACUBO report. Keith Brown, a UT finance professor, endowment said money is generally used for investment, and returns on that investment are used for funding. However, difficulty arises when endowment returns fall short of budget expectations. "If we have a bad year, then that takes away money they [college officials] were counting on to pay the bills," Brown said. Brown said that higher educa­ tion income comes from tuition, state taxes, investment returns and endowment funds. He said that when state funds are limited, as in the current budget shortfall, higher education institutions need to rely more on endow­ ments. Sue Leander, director of endow­ ment services for the University, said that scholarships and faculty support depend the most heavily on endowment income. She said the University currently has 3,600 endowments. "Essentially these endow­ ments help us recruit, reward and retain outstanding faculty," "Endowments Leander said. give us a margin of excellence." Leander said the Board of Regents determines any reduc­ tions in endowment fund payout rates. She also said that she does not foresee a reduction due to a few years of lowered market value. Kevin Hegarty, the University's chief financial officer, said that it is still early to be concerned about budget cuts related to the lowered endowment values. Hegarty said conservative endowment pay rates set by the board serve as a "cushion" in the endowment fund. Because pay rates remained conservative even during years with higher endowment value, a year of lowered value would not have an immediate impact, Hegarty said. endowment "Just because the endowment is down doesn't mean the pay rate is less," Hegarty said. "It's not like we're facing a budget cri­ sis." University gifts and endow­ ments for fiscal year 2002-2003 are at $130 million, which consti­ tutes about 16 percent of the total budget.

I’m on the Food, fighter jets highlight Perry’s inauguration festivities PERRY, FROM 1 budget shortfall so large, a chal­ that both Perrv and lenge Dewhurst promised would be resolved during their terms in office. "Much has been made of our so-called 'revenue shortfall,' but that term resonates only in Austin where even $100 billion budgets are called insufficient," Perry said. "All the answers may not be found this session, but we will w’ork until they are found, and these issues will be addressed during this administration." Unlike his low-key inaugura­ tion two years ago, the day's events were filled with inaugural pomp and circumstance, includ­ ing an arching saber entrance, four F-16 fighter jets zooming over the Capitol dome and a 19- gun salute following Perry's oath of office. Numerous public offi­ cials and dignitaries were also on hand to witness the ceremony, including U.S Secretary of Education Rod Paige, U.S. Sen. John Comyn, former U.S. Sen. Phil Gramm and three Mexican governors. "I thought that they were emo­ tionally moving and kept you close to what they were saying — it was very special," said Lauren Avery of Stafford, who came up on a bus sponsored by state Sen. Kyle Janek. "They said all the things," her husband right Richard added. Following the ceremony, 12,0ÍX) hungry bystanders were treated to a Texas-size barbecue buffet prepared on the south lawn of the Capitol by the inaugural veter­ ans, Eddie Deen Catering. The company, which has now cooked at three gubernatorial inaugura­ tions, prepared 12,000 pounds of barbecue, 15,000 homemade rolls and enough ranch-style beans to make sure everyone was satis­ fied. "The food was great," said Kelly Ward, an LBJ School of Public Affairs graduate student. "M y the Earl Campbell smoked sausage, the venison and the mini-pies — the five mini-pies." favorite w as The UT Longhorn Band and the in UT-Pan American Edinburgh Mariachi Band hit the pavement late afternoon for the inaugural parade that traveled down Congress Avenue to the Capitol. Other bands, dance teams and participants represent­ ing the far reaches of Texas were also a big hit with spectators. "It's good how they took high- school bands from all around the state," said Charles Clymer, 16, of Round Rock. The day was capped off when 10,000 celebrants converged on the Austin Convention Center Thursday evening for the inaugu­ ral ball. This is the first time in more than a decade the party has been held under one roof. Headliners included Robert Earl Keen, Clay Walker and Sixpence None the Richer. Excitement over the festivities seemed to outweigh any looming fears of budget-crunch days ahead. "It's Texas' day," said Carrol Lackey of Fort Worth. "We've started our new governor's term in office, and we're looking for­ ward to it." A STUDENT'S RIGHT TO PRIVACY The information below is considered directory information.

SOLUTIONS Campus programs help students lead healthy lifestyles Nathanael Ringer, a second year math­ ematics graduate student, lifts weights at Gregory Gym Monday. Ringer works out six days a week. By Lori Slaughenhoupt and Casey Zertuche Daily Texan Staff When the ball drops, the New Year's resolutions begin. As 2003 progresses, however, many are quickly broken. According to a poll sponsored by General Nutrition Centers, 38 percent of Amencans make New Year's resolutions to lose weight, and 55 percent promise to eat healthier. Like those Amencans, some UT students make it a goal to get healthy and lose weight. For students looking to get tit and learning about interested healthy the University offers a variety of pro­ grams. lifestyle choices, in U niversity Health Services two programs geared offers toward students' im proving lifestyles. The N EW ' You program fs a combination of nutrition, alternative exercise and emotional responses toward health. The sec­ ond program is a non-diet weight management program that pro­ vides a variety of ways to attain a healthy lifestyle. ''[N E W You] is a three-pronged approach," Monica Krygowski, a registered dietician at UHS, said. "It's a hands-on approach, which makes it pretty unique for a weight management class. The focus is on what you should and shouldn't eat and what habits you need to cultivate to have a healthy body for your whole life." Though the programs offer dif­ ferent information, the underlying purpose is learning how to man­ age a healthy lifestyle. Krygowski said she sees the programs as skills classes rather than dieting classes. "The focus [of the programs] is not prim arily on changing a body to fit an image," she said. "Rather, the focus is on helping you estab­ lish long-term healthy habits around food and exercise and the way you think about yourself." Choosing a program is up to the student Krygowski said. If a student is looking for a classroom setting, the non-diet weight man­ agement program can fulfill his or her needs. The N E W You program has changed some students' outlook on fitness and health. Britt Dean, an ecology junior, said she was always trying to lose weight, so she enrolled in the program and learned patience. "It takes a w hile... It's a life change, and it takes a long time to accomplish all your goals, but it's going to happen if you do all the stuff that [the instructors] tell you to do," Dean said. Along with U H S, RecSports provides students with exercise information through the N E W You program and offers students other opportunities to change their lifestyles, from fitness/well­ ness classes to personal trainers. "W e have 10 certified profes­ sional trainers that people can sign up with for a one-on-one session," Jennifer Speer, a fitness/wellness director, said. "Then we have kine­ siology student trainers. People apply to get 10 sessions for $60, but not everyone is selected [for the sessions]. We hold two ses­ sions every semester." The beginning of a semester means that more students w ill go to the RecSports facilities to take advantage of programs and equipment, Spears said. However, as the semester continues, fewer students w ill attend fitness/well­ ness classes. "The number of people through the door is up," Speers said. "Semester classes are packed, but in the fall and spring semesters, there is no difference [in the num­ ber of students]. If anything, there are more students in the weight room." As a participant of the N E W You program last semester, Scott Hanna, a graduate student in the L B J School of Public Affairs, offered advice for students inter­ ested in a healthy lifestyle. "I don't think anyone with an open m ind is going to have a bad experience," he said. "You have to want to be looking to change; most [important] is your w illing­ ness to change. H aving made that decision, [the program's] going to be really helpful." Weight Loss cla sse s: • Non-Diet Weight Management Program —■ a healthy alternative to dieting.

Students are getting back from holiday break, and they are either starting to exercise again or just begin­ ning too quickly. • Know what you want to do. Some peo­ ple have no idea what they want to accom­ plish. Choose a goal, whether it’s being able to climb a flight of stairs without being winded or increasing endurance. • Be educated. It’s important to know which exercises and fad diets work and which do not. • Lift weights. Weight training is good for those who want to boost metabolism. • Realize it’s a lifestyle. Make exercising and healthy choices a decision.

By Will Krueger Daily Téxan Staff from Several students the University were among the thou­ sands w h o descended upon Washington, D.C., over the w eek­ end for massive anti-war rallies. in Protests m ounted the nation's capital Friday, and by Saturday, the crowd had swelled to over 200,(XX), according to esti­ mates provided by protest organ­ Sim ultaneous protests izers. occurred in cities across the world, including San Francisco, Tokyo and Austin. students said it was important that Texas activists had a pres­ ence at the D C. rally. "A ifctin is one of the most active places in the country/' said Joshua White, a religious studies freshman and member of the C umpus Coalition for Peace and Justs e. "Certainly, our voice was heard." Notable speakers at the rally in Washington included the Rev. the Rev. A1 Jesse Jackson, Sharpton, form er Congress­ wom an Cynthia McKinney, for­ mer U.S. Attorney General Ram sey C la rk and A cad em y A w a rd -w in n in g actress Jessica Lange. " I A1 Sharpton," said Kena Piña, an anthropology freshman. " H e said that w'ar isn't necessary and the nonviolent w av is the best w a y to solve our problems " personally liked W hite said he hopes the high profile of this rally w ill draw W ashington's attention to the anti-war movement. "Perhaps our policy w ill be changed if people start to listen," W hite said. "President Bush: You aren't doing w hat the people want. W e don't hate you for it. You just aren't listening." M any at the rally believed the protest was a success. "It was a big crow d," Piña said, "and the bigger the crowd, the bigger the message to President Bush." The recent protests drew peo­ ple from alm ost every dem o­ graphic and income level. Ann Ginger, a professor at San Francisco State University, noted the w ide range of participants at the rallies. "1 noticed a whole lot of people w ho had never demonstrated before," Ginger said. " I met a wom an w h o was m y age — 77 — and she'd never demonstrated before." The anti-war movement was also active in Austin over tin weekend. According to Lisa Krebs, an organizer of yester­ d ay's M artin Luther King Jr. rail v "Four-fifths of the participants were carrying anti-war signs." The C am pus Coalition for Peace and Justice is also sponsor­ ing an anti-war rally Friday on the West M all, according to mem ber Warren Craig, a liberal arts sophomore. The coalition hopes to bring more students into the anti-war effort. "Last year we had a lot of suc­ cess," Craig said. "The semestei is still very young."

Recording industry wages w ar on downloaders Dublin Dr Pepper still sweet By Ted Bridis Associated Press W A S H IN G T O N — Internet providers must abide by music industry requests to track down com puter users who illegally download music, a federal judge mled Tuesday in a cast* that could dram atically increase online pirates' risk of being caught. The decision by U.S. District Judge John D. Bates upheld the recording industry's po w ers under a 1998 law to com pel Veri/on Communications Inc. to identity one of its Internet sub­ scribers w ho was suspected of illegally trading music or movies online. The music industry knew o n ly Internet a num erical address this person was using. Verizon promised Tuesday to appeal and said it would not im m e d ia tely provide its cus­ tomer's identity. The ruling had "tro u b lin g for future growth of the Internet, said Verizon's associate general ram ifications" counsel, Sarah B. Deutsch. "The case clearly allows any­ one who claims to be a copyright holder to make an allegation of copyright infringement to gain complete access to private sub­ scriber information without pro­ tections afforded b y the courts," she said. Deutsch said Verizon planned no immediate changes to disrupt sharing of com puter files among its customers. Cary Sherman, president of the Recording Industry Association of America, which w on the case, said piracy is a "serious issue for musicians, songwriters and other copyright [owners]." T he judg e a c k n o w le d g e d the case w as an im p o rta n t test of subpoena p o w e rs Congress granted c o p y rig h t holders. The judge said the controver­ sial 1998 law, enacted to uphold copyrights online, lets music com­ panies force Internet providers to turn over the name of a suspected pirate upon subpoena from any U.S. district court clerk s office without a judge's ordt r Critics of the procedure said judges ought to be more din 11v involved, g iven th< potential pri issues of a corporation vacy revealing personal information about customers amid an allega­ tion of wrongdoing. In the past, the entertainment ind ustry has acknowledged accusing one subscriber of ilk gaily offering for download the m ovie Hurry Pottt th< Sorcerer's Stone, even though the computer file in question actual­ ly w a s ’a child's book n port < n the subject. ami "T h ere's alm ost no judicial supervision here," said Stewart Baker, w ho represented a trade group of Internet providers that sought to intervene in the case The C om puter and Comm- uncations Industry Yssociation, which fought the mu u industry on this issue, predicted its rival "w ill be cranking up its presses prett) quickly" to send threaten­ ing letters to Internet users sharing songs and movies. "W e 're just sort of shaking our heads," said W ill Rodger, a spokesman for the com puter group, whose membership in- dudes one firm, Streamcast, that creates file-sharing software. D uring a contentious court hearing in October, the judge lam ented am biguities in the copyright act, saying Congress "could have made this statute clearer." At the time, the music industry indicated a ruling in its favor could lead to reams of w arnings Internet pirates into taking their collec­ tions offline. scare to "W e would hope that the R IA A and other copyright holders would wait until this matter was decided bv the Court of Appeals before flooding service providers w ith requests," Deutsch said. By Mark Babineck Associated Press of H O U S T O N — Fear not, Dublin D r Pepper drinkers. 1 ast m onth's the sh u td o w n Im p erial Sugar refinery near Houston w o n 't mean the end of the retro form ulation of the soda. The tinv bottling company in the north Texas town of Dublin produces about 500,000 cases of D r Pepper annually and never switched from sugar — Imperial Pure Cane to be exact — to high fructose corn syrup when other D r Pepper makers made the change in the 1960s. The demise of the storied 77- year-old refinery in Sugar Land last month w ill not affect the recipe for the 112-year-old bottling plant in Dublin, assistant general manager Kent Crouch said. "D efinitely not. We just got a huge shipm ent of sugar in ," Crouch said. Both Crouch and Anita Brvant, w ho works at the nearby Dublin D r Pepper museum, say they were deluged w ith calls in December when Imperial announced it was closing the refinery. Callers were told Imperial, which is emerging from bankruptcy, w ould keep packing and distributing sugar at its home in Sugar I .and, just south west of Houston. "T hey're going to ship out of there," Bryant said. The bottler brews D r Pepper, whose cans and bottles proudly w ea r the Im perial Pure Cane stamp, technically only for the 68,000 residents in the 40-mile radius around Dublin. The terri­ tory takes up a swath of Texas tucked inside the triangle formed by Fort Worth, Abilene and Waco But aficionados known lo\ inc. ly as "bootleggers" come from points far and w id e to load up cases of the sweeter, heavier ver­ sion of Dublin D r Pepper. W h a t Crouch calls the "super premi urn" version of the soda is avail­ able on the Internet from Dr Pepper's oldest active bottler. mm EMPLOYMENT 790 - Part time 790 - Part time mrmnnm m ■ u m w m m -w m w . 790 - Part time 790 - Part time 800 - General pOSitM dable, Help Wanted EMPLOYMENT 7 9 0 - P a r t tim e F U N JO B G R E A T PAY, Y O U 'D HAVE TO BE M A D N O T TO C A I I M a d Science needs animated instructors to conduct entertaining hands-on, after-school programs and/or children's birthday parties Must have dependable car and prior experience working with groups of elementary ag e children W e provide the training and equipment If you enjoy working with children and are looking to work only a few hours per week, this is the job for youl Pay: $25-$35 per 1 hr. class.

We examine whether the winners of Sunday’s Golden Globes should expect an Oscar nod By Stephen Satto Daily Texan Staff It took 90 members of the Hollywood Foreign Pmss, three hours and 13 Golden Globe awards to say what everyone was already thinking: This year's Oscar race is going to be the most unpredictably wnld ride in years. With five films taking home 12 Golden Globes Sunday night, the event, which is usually seen as the best prognosticator for the Oscars in March, may have aptly described the wide open field of potential O scar nominees, but were about as confusing as Lara Flynn Boyle's ballerina getup. they've demonstrated The Hours, Gangs o f Neiv York, Adaptation, About Schmidt and Chicago each received two awards apiece and will also probably become Oscar nominees for best picture, if Oscar voters maintain the sam e relatively short attention span in recent years. Seventy-seven per­ cent of Golden Globe best picture winners have eventually won the Academy Award for best picture, though nothing is a sure thing come Feb. 11, when the Academy Award are announced. nom inations And that should be taken as a comfort for Todd Haynes' 1950s melodrama Far From Heaven, Roman holocaust Polanski's m emoir The Pianist and Peter Jackson's The Lord o f the Rings: The Two Towers, none of which received the boost they were look­ ing for at the Golden Globes, though all still very much in the running for Oscars. Haynes and Polanski virtually split the Critics' Choice awards, with Heaven winning the New York and Seattle critics' circle awards for best picture, and Th' Pianist earning the National Society of Film Critics and the Boston cntics prizes, in addition to the cachet of winning the highly coveted Palme d'Or at Cannes this year. If either of those two films suc­ ceed in knocking off one of the Golden Globes' suggested fron- trunners, Adaptation is destined to be the first to go after Academy voters snubbed the first collabora­ tion between director Spike Jonze and writer Charlie Kaufman, Being John Malkovich, for best pic­ in 1999, although Jonze ture received his first best director nomination for the film. Plus, as Meryl Streep alluded to in her Golden Globes acceptance speech in for best supporting actress j f > ■ j1 t ' % . \ :> ‘V' ■■ * A A Catherine Zeta-Jones steals the spotlight a s Velma in Chicago. ;v P h o to c o u rt e s y of M ira m a x Adaptation, the older voters in the Academy may be as put off by the second half of the film as The Orchid Thief author Susan Orlean should've been. Perhaps the most notable sur­ prise of the Golden Globes was the fate of Streep's The Hours co- star Julianne Moore, wTio up until Sunday had locked up nearly ever)' major acting award for her in Far From Heaven. work Although Moore's still a virtual lock for a nomination, as well as Unfaithful's Diane Lane, Renee Zellweger, who wooed Oscar vot­ ers for a nomination for Bridget Jones' Diary last year, may be M oore's toughest com petition since Zellweger's Golden Globe for best actress in a musical or comedy for Chicago put her as a frontrunner in the O scar race. Similarly, Nicole Kidman, who has become a perennial Golden Globe winner for Moulin Rouge, To Die For and now, The Hours, should be expected to get at least even an O scar nomination, though her performance as Virginia Woolf may split the vote with her two Hours co-stars Moore and Streep, and her luck with the Golden Globes has never translat­ ed into Oscar success. On Jack the other hand, Nicholson, in the best actor cate­ gory, has a different story from Kidman's. The 11-time nominee Nicholson is a near guarantee to get a record breaking 12th nomi­ nation, and his win at the Golden Globes should give the O scar audience a sense of deja vu when the About Schmidt star has a chance to become the first actor to win an Academy Award in four different decades. His competition should include Richard Gere, w'ho took home a Golden Globe of his own for best actor in a musical or com ­ edy for Chicago, Nicolas Cage, who Gere thought should've won his Golden Globe for his dual role in Adaptation, Daniel Day-Lewis (Gangs o f New York) and Michael Caine, whose Oscar for best sup­ porting actor in 2000 for The Cider House Rules proved the Academy never misses a chance to honor Caine. that Golden Globe nominees Hugh Grant (About A Boy), Adrien Brody (The Pianist) and Kieran Culkin (Igby Goes Doum) all will probably fall prey to the Academy's long­ standing aversion to youth, and though Grant has the best shot of the three for breaking through, com edies almost never gam er Oscars for actors unless they're in supporting roles. Incidentally, Meryl Streep's rare comic turn in Adaptation will prob­ ably serve as a nice consolation prize at the Oscars when she gets edged out of the best actress race for The Hours. And with the Golden Globe under her belt for the performance, she currently leads an Oscar pack that will prob­ ably mirror her Golden Globe competition: Kathy Bates (About Schmidt), Queen Latifah (Chicago) and Catherine Zeta-Jones, who despite being nominated by the Hollywood Foreign Press for best actress in Chicago, will have a bet­ ter shot of winning the Oscar in the supporting category. If Julianne Moore goes the same supporting route for The Hours, she is the obvious choice to round out the category, though Patricia Clarkson (winner of the New York and Seattle critics awards for Far From Heaven) and Edie Falco (win­ ner of the L.A. Film Critics award for John Sayles' Sunshine State) could sneak in like Marcia Gay Harden did with Pollock in 2001, if only the the voters watch Academy screener tapes. Things are a little more cement­ ed in the best supporting actor cat­ egory where Oscar veterans Paul Who is Jim Holt.'’ hits the stage at bronteraFest today and continues through Feb. 2 HOLT; FROM 20 the term 'p arasite,' " w ith Southan said. "There are a cou­ ple of direct inspirations — real­ ly only one scene is com pletely inspired, the rest is our own imagination." With 17 actors in all, including W eisenthal and Southan, who play seven different characters between them, the two luckily had a group of friends who were just as d aring (and stubborn enough) to get their vision across to the stage. "Som e of them we knew better than others," Southan said. "W e Nicole Kidman plays author Virginia Woolf in Stephen Daldry’s The Hours. Photo courtesy of Miramax Newman (Road to Perdition, in what could be the film's only act­ ing nod), Ed Harris (The Hours) and Christopher Walken (Catch M e If You Can) are looking like shoo-ins to compete for the award, in spite of the fact that it's veteran character actor Chris Cooper of Adaptation, who won the Golden Globe and looks to have the best shot of winning the category. Two other actors that might score a nomination, Dennis Quaid and John C. Reilly, are only considered as good as their films, and if Far From Heaven and Chicago, respec­ tively, sw eep the nom inations, expect the two performances to be swept up as well. Still, with less than a month to go and the cliché very much intact, anything happen. could Incidentally, this may be the last year the Golden Globes may have as much impact on Academy vot­ ers for quite some time since the Oscars will be moving up to February from March, depriving the studios of an extra month to jockey for position and rendering the Golden ( Jobes as an a f t e r ­ thought if voting for the Oscars concludes before the Globes even air. While the Academy made the move to achieve exactly all those things and to curtail the outra­ geous spending of the studios to lobby for nominations, the Golden Globes may move up their date or, as usual, enjoy the position of being first to sing the praises of ti ve past year in film. Either way, this past year in film has given wav to an award season that's likely to be unforgettable. have one theater m ajor in our cast, and we got her by going to an audition for another student musical and convincing her to not bother with that one, and join our team instead." W eisenthal explained that dif­ in ferent tactics were needed order to form their team of actors. "W e saw a flier for another it student musical and staked out," he said. "O utside the door, as people w ere walking out, we told them about our musical, and how it had a hope and a future. Although it may have seem ed presum ptuous at the time, we turned out to be right then." Indeed they were, for that other musical ended up never even seeing the light of day. With their production, how ever — after final casting and constant rehearsing — word caught on throughout the Austin theater com m unity that Southan and ttEGAL CINEMAS O IG = Oigital S o u n d B a rg a in S h o w s in ( ) Wednesday Discount Shows All Day excluding ✓ Films ♦ No P a s s e s * fg 0 P a s se s or Super Sa v e rs J O IN C R O W N C L U B T O O A Y !

Prospective audiences will be asking who exactly Jim Holt is. The produc­ tion's flier poses the same ques­ tion: Is he a man? Is he a m ur­ derer? A myth? Or even a messi- ah? ... Weisenthal explains it, " com es from John Galt, who is the main character in A tlas Shrugged, which throughout, people ask, 'W h o Is John G alt?'" "T h e play makes fun of hero worship, because Jim Holt is sort of this m ediocre person. He doesn't really exist at all, except for what people project on to him ," Weisenthal said. In the play, Jim Holt is the per­ son who murders lesbian sepa­ ratists who threaten to destroy a federal building.

"1 certainly don't mean anv disrespect for any of them, or anyone w ho died, obviously," W eisenthal said. He adds, how ­ ever, that, "D ying shouldn't real­ ly make anyone a hero. It's blind hero worship, when we don't really know anything about these people. Yet they wen in this situation that was incredibly tragic. It's som ething that most artists don't want to touch ... so we decided to." That's w hat "frin ge" theater, and FronteraFest are all about. If there is any festival, or forum in which to be airing these ideas, this is the one. "1 d o n 't think th ere's any doubt that Ayn Rand would hate this m usical," Southan said. "It's very nihilistic, we mock the idea of hero worship, which she was really in to, and there's no clear message. It's full of contradic­ tions."
